11.26.08 GUN MAKER HAWKS WARES USING HIRED KILLER.

As you may have heard, HS Precision Rifles, a South Dakota gun maker, has been marketing their wares using the endorsement of a hired killer.

As bizarre and demented as it sounds, the HS company has a “testimonial” about their products on the back of their catalog from none other than Lon Horiuchi.

Although they have a civilian market, they clearly are willing to throw civilian gun owners under the bus to get a little government business.

Most gun owners will remember Horiuchi, but for those who don’t, a little background.

Lon Horiuchi is the former FBI sniper who shot and killed Vicky Weaver at the notorious“Ruby Ridge” standoff. Vicky was holding her infant daughter at the moment that Horiuchi fired a rifle bullet through her head, killing her.

He was later prosecuted for the killing, but predictably,charges were dismissed.

Ruby Ridge was one of the darkest hours in our nation’s history. Before Vicky was gunned down by Horiuchi, her 12 year old son Sam was shot and killed by Federal Marshals. A family friend was also shot, as was Sammy’s dad, Randy Weaver. (Larger Catalog Image)

All of these killings were over an accusation that Randy Weaver had shortened the barrel of a shotgun.

Horiuchi also worked as a sniper when the US Government, under orders from President Clinton’s Attorney General, Janet Reno, massacred the Branch Davidians in Waco Texas.

Janet Reno’s second in command, Eric Holder has just been named as Obama’s pick for our new Attorney General.

Let’s face it, gun owners are under siege. We have never faced a President who is as openly hostile to gun rights as Obama. So, when “our” people are using government assassins to sell guns to the government, we really need to take stock. HS Precision is advancing an agenda that says it’s ok for government agents to murder people because they are gun owners.

HS has so far refused to respond to questions about their outrageous use of a killer to endorse their products. Now they need to hear from you. HS can be reached here:
